This charming high-contrast, black and white book is an introduction to the Alphabet and includes bold basic text images to help stimulate your child's developing mind. Designed for babies 6 weeks to 6 months, the bold black-and-white high-contrast images will engage your baby and provide a calming, natural learning experience. Babies respond to the strong contrast between black and white, which helps to stimulate development within your baby's eyes. With all the activity going on around a newborn baby it is easy for his/her brain to become completely overwhelmed. High contrast shapes and patterns provide your baby with something simple and engaging to focus on, which in turn will allow his/her mind to rest. High-contrast shapes are usually very basic and may even appear to be a little boring to adults, but they are designed to hold your baby's attention. Researchers have shown that newborns actually prefer to look at black and white images, rather than bright colors....(that you will see in most "general" newborn baby books). Contrasting colors are most appealing to babies. Black and white provide the greatest contrast. Black and white are the easiest for your baby to perceive. -- Amazon.
